He remarks, however tint Ger mans may bo glad of this Ho saH that there Is something Insincere and disap pointing In Czernln. on whom all tho people who still believed In humanity had pinned their hopes, "even though he made speeches In Vlennt and Hud i peat last summer which Wilton might have mule" "Democrao, elf-df tennimtlon, neither annexation nor indemnities, disarma ment, a court of arbitration ever tiling which the beating heart of humanlt desires A little amhlgultv the attempt to minor the spinning of lino threads between Vienna ami Washington, made us besltato even then But tho mister of the White House smilingly Ironed out the creases, and with him all persons of good will applauded tho rosy inssagis In tho speeches" But, Harden continues after the turn of the tide, after the advent of I,enlne, and the disarming of the Husslan anpv unit the destruction of the Ilusslan mill taiy spirit.

The American labor delegates left for a visit to tho French front this morn ing, after having administered to the French official Socialists a sharp but much-needed lesson Tho French, Socialists, as a party, havo all through the war dlplajed a persistent deslro to resume emnact with the Ger man and Austrian Socialists through the medium of an International con ference. In order, as they profess, to be nble to convince the enemy Socialists by argument of the necessity of accept ing allied conditions of peace and over throwing Prussian militarism The British I,cbor pirty has twice definitely refused to admit the feasi bility of this proposil, and resolutely holds aloof from all contact with the Kaiser's Socialists Arrival of tho Amer ican labor delegates here was eagerly looked forward to by the French Social ists, who had great hopes of being able to convert their American colleagues nnd 'rope" them Into the movement to bring prersurc to bear, especially on the French Government, to obtain the con sent of the Allied Governments to the holding of nn International conference with tne enem Socialists. This was the bislc Idea of the French representatives at the conference es tt relay between the American labor dele gates and tho members of the Confed eration Generate Du Trav ill, the great French revolutionary labor organiza tion M, Joulnux, general secretary of the confederation made the proposal International conferenco virtually the sole note of his speech .No Hatred for Foe's Worker! France he asserted, had no hatred Tor tho German workers themselves, nnd he pointed out that If the conference took place It could have only one of two results- Hither the workers In the enemv countries would refuse to Join In the efforts of the workers of tho Al lied countries for the liberation of the world's peoples, In which case the war must continue, or they would accept the Allied view of what was right and would act with the Allied peoples for the good of humanity. The Anierhan reply, as voiced by John Frey, tho only one of the party who speaks French sufficiently well, fell on the Internationalists like a bucket of Ice water. We don't bate the German workers any more than vou do," he said In so many words 'But to give them our hand now would be looked upon by them only as a sign of weakness" After reminding the congress of the hjpocrltlcal professions of the German Socl illst pirty before tho war, Mr. Frey said flatly he entirely agreed with Sam uel Gompers that American labor men would refuse to meet the German dele gates under any circumstances, so long as Germany was ruled by an Imperial istic government. Mr. Frey's blunt words left Albert Thomas virtually without a word to say. M. Thomas urged the same argu ments as Jouhauy, but all the satis faction the French labor men got was a promise of James Wilson, president of the American delegation, to report the matter to the American workers when he returned home. , The Americans' straight pronounce ment has left the official Socialist Jour nal, 1,'Humanlte, absolutely dumb this morning as to yesterday's conference, so much so that the editorial on the con. ference confines Itself to regrets at the present differences between the American .Socialist and Labor parties. Not a word of comment Is printed on the definite refusal of American labor to be sug gested Into useless discussions what the enemy Socialists On the other hand. In his paper, Vlctolre, Oustav llerve, before the war a revolutionary Socialist and anti-mill tarlst of the deepest dse, and now a pro war patriot of undoubted sincerity, scores the assault by Albert Thomas "against the pure and strong conscience of American labor men" as nothing short of shameful.
